New Year, New Nightbreed, we hope...

We are almost halfway through the first month of 2013. Looking back at 2012 I am amazed at everything that has happened with Nightbreed The Cabal Cut. There were over 20 screenings of the Cabal Cut, WORLDWIDE. Rue Morgue featured the film on their December 2012 cover. The petition reached well OVER 10,000 signatures in just 10 months. 

So with all the hard work that was put into bringing this film to light in an attempt to convince Morgan Creek to release The Cabal Cut on Blu-Ray, I am hopeful that we may see this happen in 2013. Nothing is ever certain, but this is starting to look like a possibility. 

I'm still trying to keep online articles, blog posts, etc. about the film up to date at scoop.it/bring-back-nightbreed so go there to catch up on anything you've missed. Also be sure to stop by the Occupy Midian Facebook Group to see some really awesome photos that have been shared by people who were there during the original making of the film, also some great conversation goes on over there. Occasionally Russell Cherrington stops by and updates us on the progress and news for the Cabal Cut. I always love it when Russell takes the time to stop by, he is a seriously dedicated man and hard worker. There are so many people who have worked so hard on this film and on raising awareness of it. Thank you all! 

So here's to hoping that Nightbreed The Cabal Cut will get the release it deserves in 2013.

Occupy Midian Report Transcript #9

I apologize for the great delay in posting this transcript, life and my internet connection have been a bit wacky as of late. But better late than never. As always to listen to the report please visit Clive Barker Cast, for this one in particular, it can be found at: http://www.clivebarkercast.com/2012/08/26/episode-20-occupy-midian-on-location-monster-mania/


This is the first Occupy Midian report since the Monster Mania event in New Jersey. Unfortunately I was unable to attend; I cannot wait to hear Ryan’s commentary about his experiences while there. For others, like me, who couldn’t be at this event there are some amazing fan photos and videos from Monster Mania that have been posted on the Occupy Midian Facebook Group’swall.

Anne Bobby has called the Monster Mania weekend “The most fun she’s ever had with clothes on” and I do believe that is saying something. Also during the Q&A panel, Anne called for more letters to be sent to Morgan Creek, tell them why the Cabal Cut is important to you, and ask them when you can buy it on Blu-Ray or DVD. There is a form letter on Occupy Midian’s facebook page under the files tab for you to copy and use if you need to and Morgan Creek’s address is on there as well you will want to edit the letter to include your name and which event you saw the Cabal Cut at. 

Even though I was unable to attend Monster Mania I did get to view part of the Q&A panel thanks to Christian from the Occupy Midian group and the wonderful invention called youtube. You can find links to the Q&A video on, yep you guessed it, the Occupy Midian Facebook page (seriously, if you haven’t joined yet, you really should, we almost always have some interesting news or at least some great conversation going on over there).

I haven’t done an update on the petition lately, but as of now there are over 7,000 signatures. You can find a link to the petition in the top left corner of OccupyMidian.com

As for the future of the Cabal Cut there are currently seven upcoming screenings, six of which take place in the UK and one that will be in Germany. For more information on where those screenings will be held please visit Occupy Midian’s website and click on the screenings link.

We are still encouraging you to sign the petition if you have not, send letters to Morgan Creek to help them realize how many people are truly interested in this film being properly released, and do Occupy Midian sign photos and testimonial videos. For ideas on the photos, view the Occupy Midian Signs under the photos tab on the Occupy Midian Facebook Group. Hopefully with all the publicity that we are gaining and with your help, we can accomplish this goal. We get closer every single day.

Perhaps soon we will free the tribes of the moon.

Occupy Midian Report 5 Transcript


The 5th Occupy Midian Report is up on the 15th Episode of the Clive Barker Podcast. To listen please visit: http://www.clivebarkercast.com/2012/06/16/episode-15-clive-barkers-video-games-his-art/

The Nightbreed Cabal Cut screening in Los Angeles, California grew to two screenings that both sold out. This, in addition to the hard work that everyone has put in to raise awareness of this film, has brought about a wonderful thing.

On June 12, Clive Barker announced on his twitter:
My friends, Clive here, writing to share some wonderful news. Following the two Sold Out screenings of NIGHTBREED: The Cabal Cut on Sunday, Morgan Creek has given us permission to show the cut around the world and to raise money to prepare the cut for a release on Blu-ray... This could not, would not have happened without your voices. We have all been heard. The Morgan Creek team have my thanks and my respect. Very seldom does anyone in the movie business pay attention as they have, understanding perhaps that the message of the movie as I shot it is one that dramatizes a different ending to the age-old story of how a war between Humankind and something Other draws to a close. The real NIGHTBREED will be available for everyone to see. I hope its message of redemption and forgiveness move you.
When I first heard this news, I was doing a happy dance all around my apartment. The Occupy Midian Facebook group was donning their celebratory hats once again, and with good reason. But we must keep in mind that there is still quite a bit of work that must be done. Morgan Creek is giving permission to show the cut worldwide, which will raise more awareness about this wonderful film. Also they are giving permission to raise money for preparing the Cabal cut for a Blu-ray release. This means there are still many things that need to be done to the film for it to be ready for release, as well as money that needs to be earned in order to put in this work. We are still waiting for further news from the wonderful folks that have been working so hard on Nightbreed the Cabal Cut on what measures they are going to take to raise funds, and how we the fans can help.

So join us in the celebration in this huge step forward, but please help us continue to spread the word.

Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard on helping to get the word out about this film. And for those of you who are able to attend, there is another screening coming up at the Portage Theatre in Chicago on Friday, July 13th. For more information on this screening please visit http://occupymidian.com/screenings.html also check there frequently to see if any more screenings have been added.

To all those who have helped in anyway big or small, the Tribes of the Moon embrace you.
